The Privilege of Place. Hidden in the heart of Rutherford, Quintessa is a 280-acre site that reflects a diversity of geology, biodiversity, exposures and microclimates – all coming together in one distinctive wine. To preserve the natural mosaic of the vineyard, each small plot is farmed, harvested and vinified individually so the nuances of the land shine through. Just three decades since its 1989 planting, Quintessa is already a timeless Napa Valley classic.
Pioneers of the Sonoma Coast. The Flowers Vineyards and Winery estates stretch across a rugged ridgeline just two miles from the Pacific Ocean. Rising to an elevation of 1850 feet, these remote and extraordinary far-coast sites bring you Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a compelling sense of place, and remarkable acidity and balance in each vintage.
Faust is embodied by two expressions- Faust and The Pact. Each represent a modern portrait of the Napa Valley and our Faust Vineyard in Coombsville. Faust: A Modern Classic. Through relentless exploration, our winemakers are always in pursuit of the undeniable quality and unique style, fitting of a modern Napa Valley classic. The Pact: A Pure Expression of Coombsville. The Pact serves as a portrait of our estate and showcases exactly what makes the Coombsville region so special.
A Red Wine with Pedigree. Capturing decades of winemaking experience and vineyard knowledge, renowned winemaker Andy Erickson began Leviathan in 2004 with a single goal: to create a red wine each vintage free from the restraints of appellations and crafted from notable vineyards throughout California. Every year he coaxes the very best from each of the chosen varietals, regions and vineyards to create one distinct and exceptional red blend.
True Oregon. Established in 1988, Benton-Lane was born from the spirit of rugged individualism and relentless exploration. Benton-Lane is a 317-acre estate planted on a historic sheep ranch, cloaked by thousands of forested acres. The 141-acre vineyard offers a mix of sedimentary and volcanic soils that provide a diverse opportunity for terroir expression, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with complexity and nuance.
Favia Wines was founded in 2003 as a collaboration between Viticulturist Annie Favia and Winemaker Andy Erickson. Our philosophy is simple: create soulful wines that express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. The wines focus on two cultivars that thrive in the Napa Valley: Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. We use organic and mindful farming practices where the smallest details make the difference— we endeavor to listen to what the land is saying. In the winery, gentle handling, minimal intervention, and strict monitoring of the wine make it possible for the beauty of the Napa Valley terroir to shine.
